Ayurveda In Dentistry

Abstract

Dental Caries is multifactorial in nature and preventive strategies are a must and are being followed since decades. A tooth (which is primarily mineral in content) is in a constant state of Demineralisation and remineralisation with the surrounding saliva. Pediatric dentistry faces challenges in preventive strategies of oral and dental health in children and adolescents. The search for alternative products such as use of phytochemicals isolated from plants are considered to be good alternatives, hence an introduction of Ayurvedic Medicine in this context holds a lot of temptations and over rulings. Ayurveda an ancient science based on herbal therapies believes that dental problems can be treated by balancing the three doshas of a human body -The Vatta, Pita and Kapha, just like any other diseased condition. Thus this article aims to review the prospects and perspectives of use of Ayurveda in Dentistry as a whole and its affinity in Pediatric Dentistry.

Turning Bulk Titanium into Rutile Nanorods in One Step: Synthesis, Mechanism, and Application

“…First, higher Cu 2+ concentrations lead to an increase of the oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) which facilitates the oxidation of Ti metal into its ionic form . Second, SO 4 2– ions in the solution enhance the precipitation of the Ti­(IV) compound (TiOSO 4 ) from solution: …”

“…In reaction , it is known that Ti ions in acidic aqueous phase exist in the form of TiO 2+ , , and formation of TiOSO 4 by the reaction between SO 4 2– and TiO 2+ is a typical sulfate process . At elevated temperatures, the following reactions and occur: …”
